Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing Museum was built on the site of a service agency for the QING royal family. It provided research and issued purchases of good quality Yunjin and silk product for the emperor. Since the QING emperor Kang Xi had great relationship with the Cao's family, he pointed it to lead the operation of this service agency. Meanwhile, he was accomodated in the same area for some time during his national trip. Thus, you may have noticed that the name of the Road just in front of the museum , "Da Xing Gong", is the direct translation of "the main temporary palace for the emperor".

 

When Yong Zheng, the next emperor, took over the government, the Cao's family was no longer appreciated. This was when the entire family fell and migrated to Beijing. Cao Xueqing, the great writer of QING, witnessed the ebbs and flows of his family and created <Hong Lou Meng> and the characters of "Jinling Twelve",

Today, the old site of Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing Bureau was turned into a museum that both celebrates the silk industry and comemorates Cao's family and the great literature <Hong Lou Meng>. The architectural design was lead by Wu Liangyong. Quite impressive. If you are particular interested in Yunjin, maybe you also want to check out the Yunjin Museum of China. China's Presidential Palace is just across the streets, which would be very convenient to tour around in the mean time. Nanjing Library and Jiangsu Arts Gallery across from China's Presidential Palce would be good choices too. Foods in Hong Miao or Yang Jiangjun Xiang, or Xinjiekou (City center) are nearby and decent.  

    江宁织造府是负责给皇室采购云锦及手工织品的地方,也是康熙皇帝南巡的住所,乾隆年间(1751)在同一地址修建行宫。二十一世纪由吴良镛院士设计,在江宁织造府旧址基础上建造的现代博物馆。室内是金陵红楼梦文化主题的互动式展馆,包括清朝江宁织造府本身的260年历史、织造府下的云锦织造局的过往、以及曹雪芹和曹氏的兴衰1。

1 曹家最初给顺治帝打理家务,后来康熙十分赏识,赏给曹家织造府的职位,主要是替皇家采办上好的江南丝绸。曹家出了不少江宁织造(职务名),包括曹玺(1663),曹寅,曹颙,曹頫。那时候曹雪芹还是小孩子。等到曹雪芹长大,雍正继位,曹家的恩宠不再,一蹶不振,全家迁到北京去了。接手的是隋赫德。隋赫德也收过曹家在北门桥的宅子,改名隋园。大诗人袁枚接过隋园,琢磨了个文字,改叫随园啦。他就是吃货们喜爱的随园食单的作者啦。

江宁织造博物馆——俯视.jpg

露天地区堪称是在城市天际线下的一幅浓缩园林山水画。如果专门对于云锦工艺感兴趣,可以去南京云锦博物馆看看。江宁织造府旧址附近还有两江总督府等清政府部分,后来民国时改造为总统府。
